Matched-Pair Load Cells & Dual-Channel Tension Amplifier Kits

Configure left and right bearing load cells with an A+B tension amplifier. Review analog outputs, Modbus, calibration and PLC integration for R2R lines.

MT-TEN-AMP / TWO CHANNELS, ONE PACKAGE

Keep left, right and total force visible.

Specify two bearing load cells, matched cable and bridge characteristics, and a dual-channel amplifier. Request independent A and B calibration plus an agreed total-force or web-tension output scale.

  • Analog choices: 0–10 V or 4–20 mA.
  • Digital choice: RS485 Modbus RTU on confirmed hardware.
  • EtherCAT and Profinet are separately reviewed options requiring the appropriate module, protocol implementation and PLC testing.
  • DIN-rail and panel-display formats are quotation options.

Indicative amplifier add-on: +$185. Protocol, display, enclosure and calibration scope affect the final price.

Left and right roller-end sensors connect to independent amplifier inputs, then A+B summing feeds the PLC

Commission each channel before closing the loop

  1. Confirm bridge excitation, sensitivity, input impedance and shield termination.
  2. Set unloaded roller tare independently on A and B.
  3. Apply known test loads or a defined calibration web path.
  4. Apply geometric gain and validate analog or fieldbus scaling at the PLC.
  5. Test alarms, signal-loss behavior and emergency-stop loads before production.
ENGINEERING INTAKE / MT-BRL

Build your roller-end sensing package.

Send your shaft, load and machine details. We review the mounting envelope, sensing direction and PLC interface before quoting.

System configuration

Roll tension measurement typically requires one bearing load cell at each end of the roller (Drive Side + Operator Side). A cantilever or 3-roller station can use one sensing assembly.
